just finished " the betrayed" written by david hosp. it was a thriller but had a lot of history about eugenics which is the science of controlling gene pool through selective breeding such as mass sterilization to weed out " in what would be considered inferior genes. most of these programs were directed towards the handicapped or mentally retarded. --good read!!

    I posted somewhere? Not here but I just finished Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. It was excellent story of a quadriplegic and his caregiver. A lot more complicated than that and I cried near the end but a great read. Couldn't put it down. I am starting Racing On A Wire by Inge Moore. I think tnis one is revolving around the horse racing world.

    I am rereading "Clockwork Angel" by Cassandra Clare Is book 1 of the trilogy so am rereading the first 2 again before I read the last one!

    She is a wonderful writer and she also wrote the "Mortal Instruments" series that the first book was made into a movie!

    I love Scifi action thrillers and these are some of the best books I have read in a long time!!

    I recently read a graphic novel by Roz Chast called "Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?" and it was really great. It's about her losing her parents.

    Just started The Painter, by Peter Heller. Liked it enough to buy it after sampling, but not far enough to really say yet.

    I'm working my way though all the Ed McBain novels for the third or fourth time. Enough years have gone by that I don't remember too much of the plots.

    I'm reading "The Time in Between" about a woman in Madrid who goes to Morocco with a lover, is jilted, and returns to her dressmaking to survive there during the Spanish Civil War, then returns to Madrid and becomes an Allied spy when many of her clients are the wives and mistresses of high ranking Nazi's during WWII. 3/4 of the way through and very, very good.

    I'm reading Z by Therese Fowler and The Picture of Dorian Grey. Z's about Zelda Fitzgerald...F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife and their relationship. I love history, especially the 20's, and I always love to pick up historical fiction, imagine myself in that era. The picture of Dorian Grey....well, it's a classic lol and I love the classics!

    I'm reading a little gem called "I hate you, don't leave me." It's an inside look to people with Borderline personality disorder. It's fascinating, but then again I love reading about things like this.

    I'm reading The God King by James A West. It was a free download for kindle so wasn't expecting too much but it really is quite a good read, if you're into the fantasy thing. :smile:
